You don’t have to be a farmer or a chef to get a job in Sacramento’s farm-to-fork economy. But It just might help if you’re a big a ham who is a stickler for details and who stays cool as a cucumber in a crisis.

A job posting from Sacramento food tour operator Local Roots appeared on Craigslist last week seeking guides to lead groups on 4-hour walking tours of downtown, Midtown and East Sacramento restaurants on weekdays and weekends.

The positions are part-time and on-call and pay $14-$25 an hour, plus tips. Tours are scheduled 10 months out of the year.

Founded in 2010, Local Roots is seeking high-energy people with some special skills -- be it singing, rapping or dancing.

“Do your peers tell you that you have a natural sense of humor and improvisation is a talent you tweet about?” the job posting asks. “Can you solve problems and react quickly or do you scream "FIRE!" when things get hot?”

But wait, there’s more:

“Do you organize your sock drawer? Strong organization and attention to detail are KEY! We're not kidding. In fact, to be considered for this position, you must incorporate the words 'carrot' and 'elderberry' into your application somehow!”

You must be a Sacramento resident who has knowledge of the region’s farm-to-fork scene. Undergraduate students and people seeking summer-only employment are discouraged from applying.

Applicants have until 5 p.m. Wednesday to send their resumes, cover letters and smiling pictures.
